Electrochemical-Genetic Programming of Protein-Based Magnetic Soft Robots for Active Drug Delivery.

ABSTRACT: Magnetic soft robots have the potential to revolutionize the field of drug delivery owing to their capability to execute tasks in hard-to-reach regions of living organisms. Advancing their functionality to perform active drug delivery and related tasks necessitates the innovation of smart substrate materials that satisfy both mechanical and biocompatibility requirements while offering stimuli-responsive properties. Optimization of the interaction between the substrate and magnetic components is also critical as it ensures robust actuation of the robot in complex physiological environments. To address these issues, a facile strategy is presented that synergistically combines genetic programming and electrochemical engineering to achieve on-demand drug release with protein-magnetite soft rob
